To Recycle or Not to Recycle?

To recycle or not to recycle, that is the question. How do you even know what to recycle or not to? Here are some things to keep in mind when you are throwing something away,
1. Can I make more use out of it when I am done?
2. Just because I don't need it, someone else might make use of it.
3. Can I make more than one purpose out of it?
4. Can it be made into something else?
5. Can I donate it to someone in need?

Those are just a few things to keep in mind when you are making the choice to throw away or not, ask yourself those five things. Another thing many people wonder is, what should I recycle and what should I throw away? Well recycling-revolution.com created a list to make it easy on what you should recycle;
1. Aluminum cans
2. Steel cans
3. Newspaper, or any paper
4. Magazines, books
5. Cardboard
6. Paperboard
7. Plastic
8. Glass

Also things that are still in good condition you can donate to your local homeless shelter, they can use many different types of donations. Donation, recycling, reducing, and reusing, it's all better than throwing it away.
